An Obama Supporter

Read what one Barack Obama supporter had to say about the next president of the United States. The following letter was printed in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on March 2, 2008. An Obama supporter wrote in response to a claim that Barack Obama lacks the credentials and experience to be president of the United States.
The writer stated that nothing could be further from the truth. The writer goes on to say:
“To begin with, Mr Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law as president of the Law Review. He became a civil rights lawyer for a Chicago law firm and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago for 10 years. During the first eight years of Mr. Obama’s elected service, he sponsored more than 820 bills on various subjects including health-care reform, poverty, crime fighting, economics, human rights, ethics reform and veteran affairs. In his first year in the U.S. Senate, Mr. Obama authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427 bills. In total, he has written 890 bills and co-sponsored 1,096 bills in the U.S. Senate.
As a registered “no party affiliation” voter in Pennsylvania, I cannot vote in the April 22 primary election, but if I could, I would vote for Barack Obama. He is certainly qualified to hold this office based on his past academic and public record.
Perhaps if the media would emphasize the achievements of the candidates instead of focusing on their personal lives, voters would be more well-informed on the candidates and able to cast a more informed vote.”
